Man! It would be great to see the Sydney Washan Union get involved in this event and represent the Chinese Martial Arts!
YOUR INVITED TO THE WELLINGTON MARTIAL ARTS, HEALTH & FITNESS FESTIVAL 2013!
The Festival is set down for weekend of March 9th (Sat) and 10th (Sun) for the actual Festival. Sponsorship of the event (More on this later).
What to expect:
Sat: Lion Dance, An Open Day of Displays by various attending schools and information Tables/Booths. The aim of which is to maximise the promotion of Martial Arts and their core values. We aim to show people that the Martial Arts is far more than just punching and kicking ... A total art for the total being! This could involve power point presentations DVD's and use of a PA to explain the various aspects of your Arts during both the demonstrations and or Workshops.
A workshop by the various Instructors on various aspects of their art(s) with the aim being to educate the public and other martial artists as to what each art involves. This workshop could take place on the Saturday and or Sunday depending on the response from Instructors etc.
Sat Evening: A Chinese Banquet and perhaps even an Awards Evening (if any visiting school/instructor has any awards to make this could be the place and opportunity).
A program will be organised and sent out for approval once we have received confirmation of what schools/styles/instructors will be attending/demonstrating/teaching
A Special Guest at this years Festival is Master Christophe Clarke a world-renowned US Gold Medalist, international Tai Chi champion, innovative trainer, motivational speaker and film star!
The aim of the Festival is that each Instructor gives of their own time and arts for free. This is a totally Free, non-profit event. However as a means of raising Money for a Charity we are considering charging a small fee do $10.00 per style/group attending and a $2.00 to $5.00 fee per member of a style/school attending so that we may show a positive side to the aims of the Festival and benfit a charity of which we are open to your suggesstions. Please let me know your thoughts on this aspect.
If you are planning on being involved then get in touch NOW!
WE REALLY DO NEED TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU NOW SO THAT THE PROPER PLANNING CAN BE STARTED INCLUDING PUBLICITY.
